“A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds.” -Percy Bysshe Shelley

The hardest directions are the ones we follow
Take a left, or a right?
Go West-toward the ocean.
So, left or right?
Where are you now?
I'm in your neck of the woods.
I think you have gone too far.
Left or right?
Straight-toward the ocean.
I've come around the bend.
Drive-thru to the dead end.
Are there any land marks? I am lost...
If you keep going, you will find it.

A bluebird likely named Emily D.
He landed in the driveway,
his breast was heaving and his
head cocked at me-
Who found herself smiling.
With a twitch she switches sides,
she strobes a cocked moment.
A second later, he shook himself,
his feathers fluffed and
re-stacked,
he unpacked his folded wardrobe,
whipping out wrinkles
and flew towards the mountains
-East.
Warm body, she faced the fading sun.
